EDWARDSVILLE — A St. Louis man was in custody Friday after being charged with aggravated vehicular hijacking, aggravated discharge of a firearm and armed robbery related to a carjacking last Sunday.

Calvin Fletcher, Jr., 22, was arrested after Madison County Sheriff Investigators on Thursday identified the suspect and recovered the victim’s vehicle, according to a press release from the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

At approximately 3:20 p.m. Sunday, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by the victim of an aggravated vehicular car jacking. The victim had arranged to meet someone he believed was interested in buying his car, which the victim had advertised on classifieds website Craigslist.

The victim met the male suspect and an unknown female around 1:45 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of a business at the intersection of St. James and Moro roads in rural Edwardsville. The pair were believed to have arrived in a black Ford Mustang. The female is described as young, short, black and light-skinned with a thin build. Her image was captured by the business’ surveillance camera before the robbery occurred.

The victim allowed the suspect into his vehicle, a silver 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo with a high-end sound system. The suspect then produced a handgun, pointed it at the victim’s face and ordered him out of the vehicle. The victim slapped at the handgun, and the gun discharged, but the victim was not struck. The victim fled the vehicle after the shot was fired. He then pursued the suspect in a friend’s car a called 911.
